Note di degustazione
Full bottle 1,359 g and packed – surely unnecessarily – in a wooden case. Single-vineyard wine. Pale gold. Restrained nose and very impressively built palate. Clean, dry with hints of honey and lime. Super-bright. Looking good! No hurry to drink. (JR)

Soft, focused and citrus-driven, the 2021 Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc offers aromas of yellow cherry skin, lemon rind and dusty white flowers on the nose. Light to medium-bodied, the Chenin compresses on the palate to show a delightful, food-friendly texture and ends with a bright mineral-laced finish. I think it will drink better in time, so be patient.
A perfumed nose of white peaches, dried lemon peel, hazelnut and grated nutmeg. Medium- to full-bodied. Rather enveloping with pristine freshness and clarity. Silky texture. So much delicacy and grace here. Subtle tannins. Attractive now but will age wonderfully. From vineyards planted in 1968. Sustainable. Drink or hold.
The 2021 Chenin Blanc Hoë-Steen comes from two hectares of vines planted by massale selection in 1968 on ferrous clay soils with 12 months in neutral oak. It has a well-defined bouquet with light resinous scents, soft touches of Provençal herbs in the background. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, a dab of orange rind and spice, focused with a texturally satisfying oily finish. Lovely. (NM)
